How can I know that I

am going to Heaven?

"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life." - 1 John 5:13

First realize that God loves you.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Second, realize that everyone is a sinner.

Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

Third, realize that sin has a price that must be paid.

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Fourth, realize that Jesus Christ died to pay your price.

Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Finally, trust Christ alone for salvation, and you will receive forgiveness of your sins and eternal life.

Romans 10:9, 13 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved... whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Salvation Prayer Example:

"God, I know that I'm a sinner, and because of my sin, I am separated from You. I am sorry for my sin. I believe that Jesus was your Son. I believe that He lived a perfect life, died on the cross for my sins, rose again from the grave, and is the only way for salvation. Please come into my life, forgive me for my sin, and take me to Heaven when I die. I accept you as my Savior Jesus. Amen."

I have decided.
